Managed by LU Arts, the University’s extra-curricular arts programme, there are nine scholarships available. The scholarships recognise, reward and develop your ability, passion, commitment and potential in your chosen art form.
Art forms that you can apply for a scholarship in include (but are not limited to) any genre of music, creative writing (including poetry), photography, film, animation, any genre of dance, performing arts, textiles, visual arts and crafts. Previous winners have included a kathak dancer, musical conductor, props maker, filmmaker, poets and a wide range of musicians, singers and songwriters.
For 2023/24, each scholarship winner will receive a £100 cash prize and a tailored package of support worth up to £500. This support could be in the form of one-to-one tuition, mentoring, masterclasses, training or attending relevant events to help develop your skills and knowledge.
There will also be opportunities for scholars to showcase their talents by presenting or performing their work during the year.
The scholarships are open to all current Loughborough University students (undergraduates, postgraduates and postgraduate researchers) based at the Loughborough or London campus.
For full eligibility criteria, visit the scholarships dedicated webpage.
The scholarships recognise talent, but awards are also judged on commitment, passion and who would benefit the most from the support.
LU Arts is committed to inclusivity and representing the student community. They welcome applications from students of all backgrounds.
